    They're the same as you find on a lot of Chinese guitars now - perfectly OK.

    A genuine Bigsby is enough to spoil any guitar. A cheapo knockoff could spoil it equally well.
    "Working" software has only unobserved bugs. (Parroty Error: Pieces of Nine! Pieces of Nine!)
    Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

    Yes, I have one on my esquire & one on my epi dot. Both work fine.

    i had a no-name knock off one that worked as badly as any real one. a screwdriver will also open paint cans most effectively.

    Just ignore Phil, he’s just being funny. He loves Bigsbys really - he has a permanent search set up so he doesn’t miss a thread.

    The licenced Bigsby on an Electromatic was not as good as the genuine one on my Rockingham
